Recording Reason in Sonar

[Elixirjam]

Hi Guys
I havent used reason in so long I've forgotton how to record it through Sonar. What I was doing was recording the midi in Sonar and Reason while also recording the performance in audio. Now I've forgotten how to record the audio.

Any suggestions?

you have to use the function "bounce to track".
you select both midi and audio track for reason, then you select the Bounce to track command and you will have your audio recorded into another track.

Brilliant, thanks so much

you're welcome!
and remember that when you have a virtual instruments and you want to record it's output, in about all soft sequencer, that operation is called "bounce".
generally speaking, a "bounce" is something which let you "sum" a lot of track into just a single track, in example when you finish a song and you want to have all your tracks into a single stereo wave for mastering into another software, you need to "bounce".

Yeah but remember you can't go back and edit it though, so don't bounce it until you're entirely happy with it.

This is a great tool for saving CPU cycles if you're heavy on the VSTs, but again, the bounce is permanent, you'll need to redo the track if you want to change even the tiniest part.

Alternatively you could just freeze the track down, this allows you to free cpu cycles as well as allowing you to unfreeze if you feel you need to change something later.
In all honesty, using this method has served me well and i've never really bothered bouncing since.
